Signs that crack you up

  Love it!

The unexpected one I saw the other day was a bit of graffiti.  On the stop sign, someone had written "Hammer Time!".  It was completely unexpected and made me giggle.  The better part is that I mentioned it to others who I KNOW went past the sign and they didn't see it.

The signs on the boarding around a rubble-strewn, soon-to-be-construction-site near me, bearing the name of the local company who knocked down the original building:

LOST WORLD DEMOLITION

Aside from the obvious amusement, I can't pass them without entertaining thoughts of Professor Challenger and a horde of dinosaurs leaping majestically over the boarding, and galloping off into the city centre.

There's a company in town called "Priest Demolition". Now, my head tells me that it's simply owned by a family named Priest, but my heart insists that if you use them, you will get a bunch of people in robes bring the building down by blowing ram's horns.

This was funnier when it didn't need so much explaining, but here goes anyway. DH is a real estate appraiser. Appraisers generate reports about the subject property and the nearby comparable sales, or "comps." On one page of the report, there is a map with arrows pointing at "Subject," "Comp 1," "Comp 2" and so on. These days you click and drag them on a screen, of course, but at the time they were still doing paper reports. You rubbed the little arrows on from a transfer sheet.

So anyway, there was a postcard on the bulletin board with Heathcliff the cat next to a huge stone lion, with the caption "Dream Big!" It didn't take long before someone had added a "Comp 1" arrow pointing at Heathcliff.

To be fair, that WOULD be quite a sight.

Not only that, but this makes it sound like if you buy a shirt the employees will flash you one boob or something

Not really a sign, but the message currently flashing on one of our printers says "RIP Software".   

This seemed particularly apropos, as the past week has included: repeated database failures; one fax machine completely out of service; another printer working and then broken and then working again and then broken again; email failures; program errors; all in enough quantity to give me fantasies of going "Office Space" on all our equipment....

I think the printer is telling me to go for it.

"Stoner Family Funeral Home"

I can't help but picture services being held in a room full of white smoke and people wearing paisley shirts and bell bottoms.  Thanks, "That 70s Show."

You know how some towns have population signs as you enter?

One tiny tiny town near us has a population sign that lists the number of dogs and cats in the town too.

I have a pair of them. I was working in Pontiac this week on a project for Chrysler. Entering the parking garage, there is a sign that reads:

Competitive Vehicle Parking on Roof Only.

As you enter the roof level, another one says: Competitive Vehicle Parking Beyond This Point.

I know what they mean to say, but the wording puts me in mind of a demolition derby on the roof, with rival Hondas, BMWs and Fords bashing and smashing into each other for a few coveted spots, like a car version of musical chairs.

I passed a sign last week that said

Lost Springs
Pop. 4


We almost went back and took a picture.
